Adrian Zaw has worked with web series producer Andy Dugan for the web series "Satacracy 88" as the character of "Ariel Zim". The series took home the first-ever Emmy for Outstanding Broadband Drama of 2007 for a Web Series. That same year, the series won the Webby Award for Best Dramatic Online Film and Video.[4][5][6]

Soon after, he found himself working alongside director Adrian Picardi, whom he introduced to producers Don Le and Eric Ro, which led them all to create a low-budget web series called The Resistance. Picardi was the series' official creator and director. The series started off as 4 short online teasers featured on YouTube.[7] On the show, he plays the main villain, Syrus Primoris, the ruler of a nation called Aurordeca in the pursuit of immortality. The only thing standing in his way is a band of freedom fighters called "ARM Members". [8] Before filming the actual web show, the series was picked up by Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures and Starz Media, after executives at Starz and Ghost House viewed "The Resistance" teasers online.[9] The web show airs on October 4, 2010, on the SyFy channel as a one hour television pilot along with being released in its original 8 episodic form on iTunes, Xbox Live, and the PlayStation Network. "The Resistance" is Executive Produced by Ben Ketai, Scott Bayless, Scott Rogers, with producers Aaron Lam, Eric Ro, and Associate Producer Don Le.[10][11][12] The pilot will reportedly make history, as it's the first time a series created originally for the web will first premiere on television.[13][14]
